Mmmm......Chocolate

Mmmm......Chocolate · 05:02 AM

My eldest daughter is off from Uni for a few weeks and decided she needed to make a chocolate cake to while away the time.

So the cake from a magazine was whipped up - and it tastes as good as it looks!

And another chocolate image - this time from the South Aussie Pentaxian night shoot - this is of a window display at Haigh's Chocolates - the only Aussie chocolate manufacturer that makes their chocolate from the raw bean to final product. They learnt it from the Lindt family - and it shows - great chocolate!

and this is the top of their shop....a bit of a landmark in our town. And that is a bee sculpture on top of the tower. The family were confectioners before they were chocolate makers - hence the sugary motif!

Oh well - off for some chocolate......

BTW - all shot with my FA50mm f1.4 - love that lens!

Nice! Magazine cover quality can be hard to achieve...in both cooking and photography...but it seems you nailed it.

Thanks for that - she is justifiably proud of her cooking.

I would have liked the cake on a nicer "plate" though - but she was ready to eat it....

However, that 50mm f1.4 lets you set a good DOF, so I'm reasonably happy with it. We were also lucky that the winter sun was just glancing into the kitchen as I took it!
